[0043] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0044] This embodiment provides a rotary controller that can control the functions of a smart toilet (such as lid opening, seat opening, large flush, small flush, etc.).
[0045] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the rotary controller includes a ring body 1, an angle detection component 2, and a reset component 3. The ring body 1 includes a relatively rotatable inner ring 11 and an outer ring 12. The outer ring 12 is coaxially fitted around the inner ring 11, which is worn on the user's finger. The angle detection component 2 is communicatively connected to the toilet body of the smart toilet. The angle detection component 2 detects the relative rotation of the outer ring 12 and the inner ring 11, and can also output rotation information of the outer ring 12 relative to the inner ring 11. For example, this rotation information can be clockwise rotation, counterclockwise rotation, or the number of rotations, etc.
[0046] In other words, users can wear this rotary controller and rotate the outer ring 12 to cause the angle detection component 2 to output different rotation information to the toilet body. This rotation information can be mapped one-to-one with the functions that the smart toilet needs to control, and converted into functional control information for the smart toilet, thus enabling more intuitive and convenient control of the smart toilet's functions. It eliminates the need for users to bend over, saving effort and avoiding safety accidents such as slips and falls, effectively improving the user experience.
[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the angle detection component 2 includes a first Hall sensor 21, a second Hall sensor 22, and a plurality of first magnetic elements 23. The first Hall sensor 21 and the second Hall sensor 22 are disposed on the inner ring 11 of the ring, and the plurality of first magnetic elements 23 are disposed circumferentially spaced on the outer ring 12 of the ring. It can be understood that the plurality of first magnetic elements 23 can be installed on the outer ring 12 with equal or unequal spacing. In this embodiment, it is preferable that the plurality of first magnetic elements 23 are evenly spaced on the outer ring 12 of the ring.
[0048] When the outer ring 12 rotates relative to the inner ring 11, multiple first magnetic elements 23 rotate relative to the first Hall sensor 21 and the second Hall sensor 22, respectively. In this embodiment, the first Hall sensor 21 and the second Hall sensor 22 are arranged orthogonally on the inner ring 11. The first Hall sensor 21 and the second Hall sensor 22 are magnetic sensors based on the Hall effect. When the multiple first magnetic elements 23 rotate, the first Hall sensor 21 and the second Hall sensor 22 can sense the periodic change of the magnetic field. By comprehensively analyzing the magnetic field change sensed by the first Hall sensor 21 and the second Hall sensor 22, that is, by the phase difference (90°) of the two Hall signals, the direction of rotation of the outer ring 12 can be determined. For example, if the first Hall sensor 21 is triggered first, and then the second Hall sensor 22 is triggered, the outer ring 12 rotates clockwise; if the second Hall sensor 22 is triggered first, and then the first Hall sensor 21 is triggered, the outer ring 12 rotates counterclockwise. This rotation direction can be defined by the user and is not limited here.
[0049] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The inner ring 11 includes a first inner ring 111 and a second inner ring 112 fixedly connected to each other, with the second inner ring 112 fitted over the first inner ring 111. A first Hall sensor 21, a second Hall sensor 22, and a second magnetic element 31 are all disposed on the outer wall of the first inner ring 111. The outer ring 12 is rotatably fitted over the second inner ring 112, and the first magnetic element 23 is disposed on the inner wall of the outer ring 12. The first inner ring 111 and the second inner ring 112 form a mounting space for electronic components, isolating them from the external space and preventing external dust and moisture from contaminating and damaging the electronic components.
[0050] Furthermore, a first limiting ring platform 1111 is provided on the first inner ring 111, and a second limiting ring platform 1121 is provided on the second inner ring 112. Exemplarily, the first limiting ring platform 1111 is disposed on the outer wall of the first inner ring 111 and extends radially outward along the first inner ring 111. One end of the second inner ring 112 abuts against the first limiting ring platform 1111, and the other end is provided with the second limiting ring platform 1121, which extends radially outward along the second inner ring 112. The outer ring 12 is rotatably clamped between the first limiting ring platform 1111 and the second limiting ring platform 1121. That is, the width of the outer ring 12 is less than the distance between the first limiting ring platform 1111 and the second limiting ring platform 1121. Meanwhile, the diameter of the outer ring 12 is larger than the outer diameter of the second inner ring 112, but smaller than the diameter of the first limiting ring platform 1111 and the second limiting ring platform 1121. This arrangement ensures that when the outer ring 12 and the inner ring 11 rotate relative to each other, the outer ring 12 will not detach from the inner ring 11.
[0051] Continue to refer to Figures 3-5 The reset component 3 is located between the inner ring 11 and the outer ring 12 of the finger ring and is used to drive the outer ring 12 of the finger ring to reset. When the user rotates the outer ring 12 of the finger ring and sends a control message, the outer ring 12 of the finger ring can reset itself, so that the user can perform other operations, which greatly improves the ease of use of the rotary controller.
[0052] Specifically, the reset assembly 3 includes a plurality of second magnetic elements 31, which are circumferentially spaced on the inner ring 11. Each of the second magnetic elements 31 corresponds to a plurality of first magnetic elements 23, and the magnetic properties of the second magnetic elements 31 and the first magnetic elements 23 are opposite. In this embodiment, a first mounting groove 1112 is formed on the outer wall of the first inner ring 111, and the first magnetic elements 23 are embedded in the first mounting groove 1112. A second mounting groove 122 is formed on the inner wall of the outer ring 12, directly opposite the first mounting groove 1112, and the second magnetic elements 31 are embedded in the second mounting groove 122. When the outer ring 12 rotates relative to the inner ring 11, the rotation and reset of the outer ring 12 are achieved through the attraction between the opposite magnetic poles of the second magnetic elements 31 and the first magnetic elements 23, since their magnetic properties are opposite.
[0053] As a preferred option, such as Figures 2-5 As shown, the rotary controller also includes a limiting structure. The limiting structure is located between the inner ring 11 and the outer ring 12 of the ring, and is used to limit the rotation angle of the outer ring 12 relative to the inner ring 11, to prevent the outer ring 12 from rotating too much, which could cause the magnetic reset to fail.
[0054] Specifically, the limiting structure includes a limiting block 121 and a limiting rib 113, which are respectively disposed on the outer ring 12 and the inner ring 11 of the ring. When the outer ring 12 rotates relative to the inner ring 11, the limiting block 121 can abut against the limiting rib 113, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the outer ring 12.
[0055] In this embodiment, two limiting ribs 113 are provided, spaced apart circumferentially along the second inner ring 112. A limiting block 121 is disposed on the inner wall of the outer ring 12, located between the two limiting ribs 113. When the outer ring 12 rotates relative to the inner ring 11, the limiting block 121 abuts against the two limiting ribs 113 respectively, thereby restricting further rotation of the outer ring 12. The angle between the two limiting ribs 113 and the center of the inner ring 11, i.e., the rotation angle of the outer ring 12, can be determined according to actual needs and is not limited here.
[0056] Optionally, the rotary controller also includes a control unit (not shown). This control unit is disposed on the first inner ring 111 and is communicatively connected to the first Hall sensor 21 and the second Hall sensor 22. The control unit can determine the signal sequence (clockwise or counterclockwise rotation) through edge detection and directly output direction commands. Exemplarily, the control unit can be a microcontroller (MCU), which has the advantages of low power consumption, high efficiency, high reliability, and high stability. In this embodiment, the microcontroller is an ultra-low power STM32L0 series, which enters power-saving mode when idle and wakes up during rotation to quickly transmit data.
[0057] Alternatively, the rotary controller may also include a communication unit (not shown) to facilitate wireless communication with the smart toilet. Specifically, the communication unit may be infrared, Bluetooth, or WiFi communication, the principles of which are existing technologies and will not be elaborated upon in this embodiment.
[0058] Optionally, the rotary controller also includes a health monitoring module (not shown), which is mounted on the ring body 1 and includes at least one of a heart rate monitoring unit, a blood oxygen detection unit, and a mood detection unit. This health monitoring module can monitor the user's heart rate, blood oxygen, and mood in real time, providing comprehensive health data and offering greater practical value compared to traditional single-function monitoring devices.
[0059] Specifically, the heart rate monitoring unit uses a photoelectric heart rate sensor (not shown) to monitor the user's heart rate, and the heart rate monitoring unit communicates with the control unit. The photoelectric heart rate sensor integrates a light-emitting diode (LED) and a photodetector. Its monitoring principle is as follows: the LED emits green light of a specific wavelength. When this green light shines on the skin tissue of the finger, some of the light is absorbed by hemoglobin in the blood, and the reflected light is received by the photodetector. Because the blood volume in the finger changes periodically during a heartbeat, the intensity of the reflected light also changes periodically. By detecting the frequency of changes in the intensity of the reflected light, the user's heart rate can be calculated.
[0060] Preferably, in this embodiment, to improve the accuracy of heart rate monitoring, multiple heart rate sensors are disposed on the inner surface of the ring body 1, distributed at different positions, to acquire heart rate signals from different parts of the finger. The control unit inside the rotary controller fuses the data collected by the multiple heart rate sensors to remove noise interference, thereby obtaining a more accurate heart rate value.
[0061] More specifically, the blood oxygen detection unit communicates with the control unit, utilizing near-infrared and red light dual-wavelength detection technology to monitor the user's blood oxygen in real time. The ring body 1 contains two LEDs of different wavelengths, emitting red light at approximately 660nm and near-infrared light at approximately 940nm, respectively. When light shines on the finger's skin tissue, hemoglobin exhibits different absorption characteristics for different wavelengths of light. By detecting the intensity of reflected red and near-infrared light, and applying Beer-Lambert's law, blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) is calculated.
[0062] Furthermore, to compensate for the impact of individual differences and environmental factors on the accuracy of blood oxygen monitoring, an ambient light sensor is integrated into the ring body 1 to monitor the intensity and wavelength of ambient light in real time and calibrate the blood oxygen monitoring data. Simultaneously, through learning and analysis of a large amount of user data, a personalized blood oxygen monitoring model is established to further improve the accuracy of blood oxygen monitoring.
[0063] More specifically, the emotion detection unit communicates with the control unit and performs emotion detection by combining various physiological signals and machine learning algorithms. In addition to utilizing heart rate and blood oxygenation data, the emotion detection unit integrates a skin conductance response (GSR) sensor and an accelerometer. The GSR sensor detects changes in the electrical conductivity of the skin surface, reflecting the level of sympathetic nervous system activity, which is closely related to emotional state. The accelerometer monitors the user's movement and posture changes, further assisting in emotion detection.
[0064] In this embodiment, the control unit inside the ring body 1 preprocesses and extracts features from various physiological signals, such as heart rate, blood oxygenation, skin conductance, and acceleration, and then transmits these feature data to a mobile app or cloud server. In the mobile app or cloud server, deep learning algorithms are used to analyze and classify this feature data to identify the user's current emotional state, such as happiness, sadness, tension, or calmness. By continuously collecting and analyzing the user's emotional data, the model can continuously optimize and improve the accuracy of emotion detection.
[0065] Understandably, the control unit inside the ring body 1 can process the data collected by various sensors in real time. In addition to the data processing steps mentioned above during heart rate, blood oxygen, and mood detection, the control unit also performs data integrity verification and outlier detection. For abnormal data, the control unit marks it and attempts to re-collect the data or correct it using algorithms. When the data meets the transmission conditions, the control unit transmits the data to a mobile app or cloud server via the communication unit. During transmission, encryption algorithms are used to encrypt the data, ensuring its security and privacy. After receiving the data, the mobile app parses and stores it, and displays the health data intuitively on the user interface, such as showing real-time heart rate and blood oxygen values and historical trends in chart form. Simultaneously, the mobile app can also push health advice and warning information to the user based on the data analysis results.
[0066] Furthermore, the rotary controller also includes a power supply unit (not shown), which provides power to the various electronic components. This power supply unit uses a small lithium polymer battery (50mAh) and integrates a wireless charging IC chip such as the BQ51013B to facilitate wireless charging. Specifically, the power supply unit uses a miniature Qi standard coil (approximately 10mm in diameter) embedded in the inner ring 11 of the finger ring, achieving short-range charging through magnetic resonance. Simultaneously, energy efficiency optimization is implemented, such as a low-power standby mode (current less than 10μA) or LED indicator lights to provide status feedback during charging.
[0067] Furthermore, the rotary controller also includes an alarm unit (not shown in the figure), which uses RGB LEDs to indicate the status (e.g., green for successful flipping, red for low battery) and is activated by a miniature linear motor (such as a PicoVibe). TM 3023) Provides vibration confirmation. The principle and use of the alarm unit are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.
[0068] This embodiment also provides a control component, such as... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the control assembly includes a base 100 and the aforementioned rotary controller. The ring body 1 is detachably placed on the base 100, which provides power to the ring body 1.
[0069] Specifically, the base 100 is magnetically connected to the ring body 1, and a wireless charging device is provided between the base 100 and the ring body 1. Magnetic charging is achieved through the wireless charging device and the power supply unit of the ring body 1, which is existing technology.
[0070] More specifically, a positioning post 101 is provided on the base 100. The ring body 1 is fitted onto the positioning post 101 to prevent the ring body 1 from moving during charging.
[0071] This embodiment also provides a smart toilet, which includes a toilet body and the aforementioned rotary controller or control component. A main control board is disposed within the toilet body, and the rotary controller is communicatively connected to the main control board. The rotary controller is capable of controlling the opening and closing of at least one function of the toilet body.
[0072] The control method of rotary controllers can achieve a variety of functional controls through different combinations of rotations.
[0073] The specific operational plan is as follows:
[0074] 1. Rotate clockwise once, then release to allow the magnetic snap-back to return to its original position.
[0075] -Function: Flip cover
[0076] -Implementation: After the microcontroller detects that the outer ring 12 of the ring rotates clockwise through the first Hall sensor 21 and the second Hall sensor 22, it sends a signal to control the toilet seat of the smart toilet to open.

[0078] -Function: Flipping
[0079] -Implementation: After the microcontroller detects that the outer ring 12 of the ring rotates clockwise twice in succession through the first Hall sensor 21 and the second Hall sensor 22, it sends a signal to control the toilet seat of the smart toilet to open.

[0081] -Function: Small Thrust
[0082] -Implementation: After the microcontroller detects that the outer ring 12 of the ring is rotated counterclockwise through the first Hall sensor 21 and the second Hall sensor 22, it sends a signal to trigger the small flushing function of the smart toilet.
[0083] 4. Rotate counterclockwise twice consecutively, then release the magnetic force twice to reset:
[0084] -Function: Big Rush
[0085] -Implementation: After the microcontroller detects that the outer ring 12 of the ring rotates counterclockwise twice in a row through the first Hall sensor 21 and the second Hall sensor 22, it sends a signal to trigger the big flush function of the smart toilet.
[0086] 5. After rotating counterclockwise, do not return to the original position for more than 3 seconds:
[0087] - Function: Alarm
[0088] -Implementation: The microcontroller detects that the outer ring 12 of the ring rotates counterclockwise and does not reset for more than 3 seconds after the first Hall sensor 21 and the second Hall sensor 22 are detected, and then sends a signal to trigger an alarm.
